A little tid bit about that heavy of acidic vinegar. I work for a food manufacturing facility. We make our own vinegar... it is industrial strength vinegar. A lot of the workers will take some home here and there for weeds but a word of warning: Using it (at least, ours) on concrete will etch and deteriorate it! So if you're spraying a sidewalk, your foundation walls, etc.. it will deteriorate that concrete. Our stuff is very strong... will dissolve galvanized pipe.... so , be careful!
Even regular vinegar will start to degrade pavers. The ones on either side of my driveway took a bit of a hit. But, I will not use R/U. But, definitely be careful with brick-type pavers. * mine were already old, however, so …?
You for got to mention - Do not store vinegar in your sprayer. The rubber seals & o-rings will swell & disintegrate. Rinse out the sprayer after each use.
In that case... I continue to use cleaned empty SQUIRT bottles that contained my liquid dishwashing soap. Eliminates worrying about corroding anything and no problem replacing it with a new squirt bottle.
Would one be ok if after using the solution one takes off the pump part (and the spraying tube), thoroughly rinses/cleans it, store it separately, and cover the holes of the container with something else until the next time needed?
I have been using this mixture with regular vinegar for the past 10 years. My neighbors all thought I was nuts, as they were and continue to use Round-Up! On a hot and sunny day, it didn’t take long until they were dead down to the root. I’m not saying this is proof I’m not nuts, but (lol) works like a charm, and is safe for the environment! I can’t understand why anyone would ever use R/U again. It is quick to mix, and as far as I can tell, an excellent natural way to go! Thanks!
I use self leveling caulk. It was developed for exactly this type of application. Works better, looks better, less messy, lasts longer and will not grow mildew like a lot of caulks will do.
@@stevehollywood1 Yeah, that Sikaflex stuff is a miracle in a bottle. The concrete company I used to work for used it, and it did an amazing job every time.
I did this a few years ago and it worked great! Also help from water getting under the concreate and friezing causing damage. I put sand on top of the caulk while it was still wet and then swept it off when dry. Gave it a better color.
"no stupid music" just means he has little to no video editing skills. It's possible to make an informative, high quality video with background music, animations, subtitles etc AND keep your attention. You just have to know what you're doing with video editing.
Wow. Impressive. I had my doubts that this would work better than Round Up. Not only does this homemade mixture work better, it works so much faster too. Results matter. Thanks for the video.
Honestly theres no need for this sort of stuff. Sprinkle some salt and lightly spray with water so it doesnt blow away, and the weeds absorb it. When its all dead, use a pointing trowel to clear out the joint. Then use a 3-1 DRY mix of sand/cement and use a soft brush to apply into the joints. Lightly brush the mix over the joints until level, and off the surface area, then a spray of water to create capillary action and form the mortar bond.

Thanks for the Vid, I am currently de-weeding my yard but I have a Pergola and there are weeds growing in the gaps of the steps, when I pull them up they pull up more, so I will use your technique of Caulk, I just need to remove these weeds first and hope I can get this...
For the clean finish i saw tilers spraying the silicon with soap water and then puling and pushing an ice cream stick along creating very neat and even finish.
This looks to easy. Questions: 1. Can you get the 45%vinegar in Lowes? 2. After caulking do weeds return? 3. Do you have to apply treatment after caulking in following seasons? Thank you.
Thanks for watching, it is very easy. Answering your questions below. 1. Unfortunately not, but we will post a link below to where to purchase. 2.

I found that using salt with vinegar in a pump spray only lasts for so long before the salt blocks the sprayer then you have to take the spray nozzle apart to clean out time consuming. I now resort to white vinegar it does the job just as good.

I use vinegar, salt in two mixes, one for weeds, the other for unblocking drains. With the Drains I add baking soda, tbs,of salt, tbs. Of baking soda, pour vinegar…fizz, pop, cleared! More if using on large drains, this amount is for sinks, shower drains. Vintage and salt for weeds. It sterilises the soil where directed. 👍👍👍

Baking soda will make it fizz but what is it that you are trying to accomplish? It is not releasing a gas that will blast through a clogged drain since there is no buildup of pressure in the pipe.

This is great I’ve brought the most expensive weed killer which doesn’t work so your video is like a breath of fresh air thankyou can’t wait to try it out
I recently learned about using this vinegar (purchased from Amazon). After many years of repeatedly spraying weeds and pulling them out over the spring and summer, I decided to try this. It works exactly as shown here. I had hoped it would also kill the ants, but they are still around. Maybe the caulk will help that problem. I wore rubber gloves, a mask and eye protection. Even though I didn’t do this on a windy day, it’s not something you want to inhale or get on your skin.

my dad had a brick sidewalk that was old and not really level so you could not shovel it down to the ground he just threw salt on sidewalk every storm and people were amazed how he never had any weeds in the cracks between the bricks of course they say it is not really good for concrete with freeze thaw but I wonder if you just put some in cracks would it keep weeds from growing.
Ah. I recently moved to FL and my driveway and front porch here is all pavers. There won’t be any snow storms here, but I love that idea! I wonder if it would work before a rain? Thank you!
I use a similar method. Works well, at least for a season. Did you know that when you use a broom you are ‘sweeping’ or maybe even ‘brushing’ the weeds away, not ‘brooming’?

You can take a weed eater and hold it sideways and clean out all the weeds, no chemicals required, would be a good idea to pressure wash the surface and let it dry before applying caulk. The caulk will shrink, so apply it generously.

I used regular vinegar for years. I upgraded to cleaning strength vinegar when I learned it existed. I hoped that would eventually eliminate the weeds for good. I didn’t know how to fill the gaps. This process brings it to a whole new level. My challenge is my 30-plus year old patio is made of very thin “bricks” more like sheets of concrete. Besides the weeds I have sandy soil pushing up. Will the caulk hold with the soil issue? Before I embark on a project that would be physically challenging for me, what do you think I can reasonably expect? I would only be able to do a few gaps at a time so it would take a while to determine the end results. Thanks.
If the root of the weeds is not fully eradicated, the weeds are going to grow back regardless of which method is used. To kill weeds permanently, the roots must be killed or pulled entirely. Before you attempt to do any other repair work on your patio, it's best to take care of the weed problem first. If your patio has severely deteriorated, you may want to think about getting some estimates from a contractor or a handyman, especially if the job may be too physically challenging for you to do it yourself. It will be hard to make any determination on what's best for the job without actually seeing the patio, and the state of its condition. The estimates are free without any sale pressures nor obligations to hire, whichever option you decide to repair or replace. Also, what you can do is take photos of your patio, and go to a home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards or whichever store is located in your area), show the pictures to a salesman and they will recommend and select a product for you, that's best for the job.
i bought some of that concrete caulk at Home Depot and they must not sell it too much because it was old and hard as a rock so i would check the tubes for an expiration date.
I was using regular table salt and it clogged the sprayer so I’m not gonna do that anymore. I’m just going to toss salt on top of the weeds after I spray.
@@dcwatashi my hasnt clogged. Maybe I won’t use it anymore. I might do the same. I’ve had two containers with 1 cup salt each, to dissolve. It rained for the last month, so I hope it won’t be a prob. and it is still good.
@@ritagamez3732 it’s not worth it to take a chance and get it clogged. I couldn’t believe how long it took my neighbor to unclog the little nozzle. You can just use a salt shaker and after you get the weeds wet just sprinkle the salt on top I think it’s actually a better application anyway because then you know you’re getting salt on those weeds. Someone mentioned that, they just use salt. They don’t even use the vinegar. I might try a test of that , that would be less expensive for sure.
I was going to try method In video and am reading in lots of comments that the salt clogs the sprayer. I wonder if you boiled some water with salt before hand, let it dissolve and then mix with vinegar, would that prevent the clogging? I think so. Then I wondered how well sea salt dissolves in boiling water so I’ll try it. I’ll put some sea salt in my coffee grinder and make sure it’s finely ground and then boil in half a gallon of water and will fill the rest of sprayer to the top with this vinegar. I’m sure that’ll fix the clogging issue. Anyway, hope this suggestion helps someone.

So I imagine if I wanted to redo my whole lawn due to weed infestations, I could probably use this method to do just that. However, does this make the soil unusable due to the acidity?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders So if I did take this approach with killing weeds in my grass, I'd need to wait maybe 6-8 weeks to reseed. Is that correct? Or could I reseed as soon as everything is dead and cleared?
I've been doing this for years it's my job so forget the above and..... .Rake out all the old weeds,moss etc.Rake out and loose pointing to at least 15mm depth .Sweep out all dust with brush or use a hose then leave to dry, or if you're cleaning and jet washing the slabs do so at this stage prior to pointing. Then when the joint are dry{might take days depending on weather etc..} fill with semi wet{so it just holds together not too wet} 3 or 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement making sure you pack it down the joint well using th side of a small pointing trowel then fill the joints right up.When almost dry use a wire brush to take off loose cement so it makes the finish level with the top of the slab - and not below like in the video above.Then stiff brush off any cement smears.The secret is as you pack down the cement mix make sure it sticks to the side of the slabs.A flush finish is better than a recessed as leaves and water won't lay in the joints like they would if the finish was a few mm below the top of the slab.Remember houses are build using sand and cement and if done right will last decades.
Question...🤔 You pulled some old caulk out of the crack, which means that a similar process was applied at some point before. How long did it take from the last time you caulked those cracks for weeds to start reappearing?

Though the addition of salt will help make it more long-lasting. Just be careful the salty mix doesn't leach into nearby plants, as salt is a real plant killer.
Thanks for watching, that space is supposed to be left open and free of any sealant, caulk, or silicone. This gap is required to be left open to allow an asphalt company that resurfaces your asphalt to have a runoff to ever-so-carefully squeegee the resurfacing application into that gap/runoff space to alleviate it from splashing or running into and onto the concrete.

Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. Great question, the seam between the concrete and asphalt is required to remain free of any sealant, caulk, silicone… It’s required to be free of all these products to allow for the required drop off. The drop off is used by the asphalt company when they are resurfacing the driveway. Once they reach this seam, it allows them to ever-so-carefully squeegee resurfacing applicant into this seam. This also prevents resurfacing applicant to flow or spill onto your concrete….that would be…well…not pretty…sloppy and unacceptable some may say. 😁 Let us know if you have any questions and hey if you’re into crypto trading, join our DIY ecosystem. toolboxtoken.com Reach out to us any time! 🧰

I make a healthy drink with fresh lemon, honey and sea salt. I dissolve the sea salt in hot water for the drink. What about heating the vinegar and adding the sea salt to dissolve it for use. Or would heating the vinegar damage a saucepan. Just wondering.
OH my goodness I have posted on another one of your videos by mistake. I am going to try the weed killer idea but putting the caulking in will not work here as we have hot summers but cold winters and the pavers have to have some leeway for contraction so I dont want to wreck my pavers by them cracking.

I love this! I would like to use this solution for the weeds in between my patio pavers. Would this be safe for the pavers? And once the weeds are gone what would you fill in with?
Your pavers will take a definite hit, even using regular vinegar, just so you know. Cement sidewalks and driveways seem to do fine, and work well. I’m no pro, but, I would check with someone who knows before calling in between your pavers. I have never seen anyone do that, so I would check with someone who is knowledgeable about that! I believe that with expansion in the heat and contraction with the cold, it could be a disaster if caulked between each paver, though.

Normal vinegar works and you don't need the salt or dish soap. Give the plants you want to kill a drink early in the morning before the plant has had time to start drinking up any water in the soil. You want the plant drinking the vinegar.
Wow. What a freekin awesome video. Thank you so much! I'm pulling my hair out on trying to get rid of the constant weeds growing between the cracks of my cement square "tiles" on my whole patio. I have surrounding gardens and such with lots of bees and hummingbirds. I don't want to use the poison weed killer. But, for 3 years now, the non toxic products don't work. I've spent so much money. I live on social security and buying hundreds of dollars of stuff that doesn't work is frustrating. I can't wait to try this. IVE NEVER SEEN CONCENTRATED VINEGAR ANYWHERE.

Thanks for the Vid, I am currently de-weeding my yard but I have a Pergola and there are weeds growing in the gaps of the steps, when I pull them up they pull up more, so I will use your technique of Caulk, I just need to remove these weeds first and hope I can get this...
Thanks for sharing this, great idea. Looking forward to hearing back from you on how it works.

2. After caulking do weeds return?
3. Do you have to apply treatment after caulking in following seasons?
Thank you.

2. We haven’t seen weeds grow through our sidewalk at our other house in over 5 years and are yet to see any weeds grow through at the house we did this video at. 👍
3. As long as you purchase the correct caulk and apply it correctly, it will last for years. 👍

I just watched your video. Loved the tip of using vinegar, salt and dishwashing soap. Never thought about using that mixture. Have always used commercial weed killer. I'm going to try this mixture first thing in the morning on my patio. Thanks again for the video.
Good morning ☕️, you are welcome. It works great. Be very careful and mindful as you spray and apply it to weeds…as it will kill pretty plants as well if accidentally sprayed.

I found that using salt with vinegar in a pump spray only lasts for so long before the salt blocks the sprayer then you have to take the spray nozzle apart to clean out time consuming. I now resort to white vinegar it does the job just as good.

I use vinegar, salt in two mixes, one for weeds, the other for unblocking drains. With the Drains I add baking soda, tbs,of salt, tbs. Of baking soda, pour vinegar…fizz, pop, cleared! More if using on large drains, this amount is for sinks, shower drains. Vintage and salt for weeds. It sterilises the soil where directed. 👍👍👍

Baking soda will make it fizz but what is it that you are trying to accomplish? It is not releasing a gas that will blast through a clogged drain since there is no buildup of pressure in the pipe.

This is great I’ve brought the most expensive weed killer which doesn’t work so your video is like a breath of fresh air thankyou can’t wait to try it out
I recently learned about using this vinegar (purchased from Amazon). After many years of repeatedly spraying weeds and pulling them out over the spring and summer, I decided to try this. It works exactly as shown here. I had hoped it would also kill the ants, but they are still around. Maybe the caulk will help that problem.
I wore rubber gloves, a mask and eye protection. Even though I didn’t do this on a windy day, it’s not something you want to inhale or get on your skin.
Why not get it on your skin? Vinegar is just bad wine!
@@fillhixx it’s 45% acidic, not like household vinegar at all. If you do some research on Google it explains it very well.

my dad had a brick sidewalk that was old and not really level so you could not shovel it down to the ground he just threw salt on sidewalk every storm and people were amazed how he never had any weeds in the cracks between the bricks of course they say it is not really good for concrete with freeze thaw but I wonder if you just put some in cracks would it keep weeds from growing.

You can take a weed eater and hold it sideways and clean out all the weeds, no chemicals required, would be a good idea to pressure wash the surface and let it dry before applying caulk. The caulk will shrink, so apply it generously.

I used regular vinegar for years. I upgraded to cleaning strength vinegar when I learned it existed. I hoped that would eventually eliminate the weeds for good. I didn’t know how to fill the gaps. This process brings it to a whole new level. My challenge is my 30-plus year old patio is made of very thin “bricks” more like sheets of concrete. Besides the weeds I have sandy soil pushing up. Will the caulk hold with the soil issue? Before I embark on a project that would be physically challenging for me, what do you think I can reasonably expect? I would only be able to do a few gaps at a time so it would take a while to determine the end results. Thanks.
If the root of the weeds is not fully eradicated, the weeds are going to grow back regardless of which method is used. To kill weeds permanently, the roots must be killed or pulled entirely. Before you attempt to do any other repair work on your patio, it's best to take care of the weed problem first. If your patio has severely deteriorated, you may want to think about getting some estimates from a contractor or a handyman, especially if the job may be too physically challenging for you to do it yourself. It will be hard to make any determination on what's best for the job without actually seeing the patio, and the state of its condition. The estimates are free without any sale pressures nor obligations to hire, whichever option you decide to repair or replace. Also, what you can do is take photos of your patio, and go to a home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards or whichever store is located in your area), show the pictures to a salesman and they will recommend and select a product for you, that's best for the job.
Thank you.
i bought some of that concrete caulk at Home Depot and they must not sell it too much because it was old and hard as a rock so i would check the tubes for an expiration date.
I have been using this trick to kill poison ivy for years. Works great!
Great idea, thanks for sharing this.
😎👍
I'd use a string trimmer first to allow the spray to get down into the roots better.
Thanks for watching, not a bad idea.
I use regular vinegar, and tables salt. It sure doesn’t dissolve. Maybe that’s why you recommend the sea salt.
I was using regular table salt and it clogged the sprayer so I’m not gonna do that anymore. I’m just going to toss salt on top of the weeds after I spray.
@@dcwatashi my hasnt clogged. Maybe I won’t use it anymore. I might do the same. I’ve had two containers with 1 cup salt each, to dissolve. It rained for the last month, so I hope it won’t be a prob. and it is still good.
@@ritagamez3732 it’s not worth it to take a chance and get it clogged. I couldn’t believe how long it took my neighbor to unclog the little nozzle.
You can just use a salt shaker and after you get the weeds wet just sprinkle the salt on top I think it’s actually a better application anyway because then you know you’re getting salt on those weeds. Someone mentioned that, they just use salt. They don’t even use the vinegar. I might try a test of that , that would be less expensive for sure.
I was going to try method In video and am reading in lots of comments that the salt clogs the sprayer. I wonder if you boiled some water with salt before hand, let it dissolve and then mix with vinegar, would that prevent the clogging? I think so. Then I wondered how well sea salt dissolves in boiling water so I’ll try it. I’ll put some sea salt in my coffee grinder and make sure it’s finely ground and then boil in half a gallon of water and will fill the rest of sprayer to the top with this vinegar. I’m sure that’ll fix the clogging issue. Anyway, hope this suggestion helps someone.
@@ruthboaz7749 after my neighbor spent approximately 30 minutes to unclog my sprayer, I will just make a big salt shaker

So I imagine if I wanted to redo my whole lawn due to weed infestations, I could probably use this method to do just that. However, does this make the soil unusable due to the acidity?
@@heretic.climbing
Good morning ☕️
That will be personal preference however it make take a month or two for grass to show any signs of new life.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders So if I did take this approach with killing weeds in my grass, I'd need to wait maybe 6-8 weeks to reseed. Is that correct? Or could I reseed as soon as everything is dead and cleared?
@@heretic.climbing
We would wait at a minimum 6-8 weeks. It’s likely that weeds will begin to grow sooner, it’s hard telling depending on your soil.
I've been doing this for years it's my job so forget the above and..... .Rake out all the old weeds,moss etc.Rake out and loose pointing to at least 15mm depth .Sweep out all dust with brush or use a hose then leave to dry, or if you're cleaning and jet washing the slabs do so at this stage prior to pointing. Then when the joint are dry{might take days depending on weather etc..} fill with semi wet{so it just holds together not too wet} 3 or 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement making sure you pack it down the joint well using th side of a small pointing trowel then fill the joints right up.When almost dry use a wire brush to take off loose cement so it makes the finish level with the top of the slab - and not below like in the video above.Then stiff brush off any cement smears.The secret is as you pack down the cement mix make sure it sticks to the side of the slabs.A flush finish is better than a recessed as leaves and water won't lay in the joints like they would if the finish was a few mm below the top of the slab.Remember houses are build using sand and cement and if done right will last decades.
can you put this on any crack?
Thanks for watching.
Question...🤔 You pulled some old caulk out of the crack, which means that a similar process was applied at some point before. How long did it take from the last time you caulked those cracks for weeds to start reappearing?
Thanks for watching. That application we pulled out was going on 15 years. 😎👍

I've used vinegar on its own with the same results.
Though the addition of salt will help make it more long-lasting. Just be careful the salty mix doesn't leach into nearby plants, as salt is a real plant killer.
what do you use to fill in between the concrete and the blacktop?
Thanks for watching, that space is supposed to be left open and free of any sealant, caulk, or silicone.
This gap is required to be left open to allow an asphalt company that resurfaces your asphalt to have a runoff to ever-so-carefully squeegee the resurfacing application into that gap/runoff space to alleviate it from splashing or running into and onto the concrete.

Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
Great question, the seam between the concrete and asphalt is required to remain free of any sealant, caulk, silicone…
It’s required to be free of all these products to allow for the required drop off. The drop off is used by the asphalt company when they are resurfacing the driveway.
Once they reach this seam, it allows them to ever-so-carefully squeegee resurfacing applicant into this seam. This also prevents resurfacing applicant to flow or spill onto your concrete….that would be…well…not pretty…sloppy and unacceptable some may say. 😁

OH my goodness I have posted on another one of your videos by mistake.

I love this! I would like to use this solution for the weeds in between my patio pavers. Would this be safe for the pavers? And once the weeds are gone what would you fill in with?
Your pavers will take a definite hit, even using regular vinegar, just so you know. Cement sidewalks and driveways seem to do fine, and work well. I’m no pro, but, I would check with someone who knows before calling in between your pavers. I have never seen anyone do that, so I would check with someone who is knowledgeable about that! I believe that with expansion in the heat and contraction with the cold, it could be a disaster if caulked between each paver, though.
So clean and environment friendly
